Makes users feel abandoned http://docs.fedoraproject.org We have some big missing parts between the wiki and docs.fedoraproject.org. We have some old content; much that is hard to find with search; not enough categorization; and poor cross-linking. We can always use extra hands to help. Right now, helping hands need to be extra patient, as we are also fixing the new contributor documentation. If the Fedora documentation isn't greatly improved by Fedora 11, you can hold myself and the rest of the team accountable. > 2.

How-to documents do not appear out of thin air. *Anyone* including you can get a Fedora account and put up content on the wiki. https://join.fedoraproject.org https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing > 3.

While 'yum' used to be much slower for various reasons, my understanding is that it currently is on par with other dependency solvers. I understand that is not your experience, so don't know what to tell you. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
